HORSEPOWER BABY's blog: "Thanks for your concern!"

As I sit here in my lonely room, reflecting on recent events , I am forced to consider the following.

After extending all that I have to the people around me, and I do mean everything including mind, body, and soul as well as money , I can not for the life of me understand why it is that a simple " Thank You " never comes to mind for these people. I did not ask for or want anything in return. I didn't do it to have something to hold over someone's head, I didn't do it for any type of accolade, I did it out of genuine concern and compassion. I am truly selfless in this act. I do it to help those a little less fortunate get a little firmer grip on their situation. I am sincere in my desire to be a good friend and helping those in need breath a little easier.

With that being said, now that I have extended myself to these people they are nowhere to be found. They don't call, they don't answer my calls, and are never home when I stop by. I am not hounding these people, I am trying to find out if they are OK. Do you need anything else, yes I keep trying to help. After all this I find that my circle of friends is getting smaller. I have deprived myself and my family of a lot of things in order to help these people and now I have nothing. No longer do I have all the things that I have given away to help these people now I no longer have these people in my life.

I continue to try and help those around me and find myself asking this question, IS IT REALLY WORTH IT ? When I do all that I can to help and continue to lose , Is it really worth it? When all those around me keep on taking and never giving in return , Is it really worth it? When noone ever extends a simple Thank You , Is it really worth it?

Any one that can answer this question for me please do because I am at my wits end and I don't know what to do next.

Thank you for your time and Thank you in advance to those who will take the time to respond to my delima. THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH!
